cubinator Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yesterday I was asked by a fellow musician whether I would remember him when I'm on the Moon. I told him I might, and that I would contact everyone I can when I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piatzin Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) So we're doing interviews for English class nowadays, which we then have to write in transcribed/embedded formats. We had to pick random partners, and I ended up with this guy from Russia. (At least, I think he's from Russia, though he might be from somewhere else). Anyways, his interview went well enough, but mine kind of degenerated into.....um.....I mean, it started normally, but.... @Ultimate Steve, I'm sure you can relate lol Spoiler Russian Guy: "So, what is your name?" Me: "(Insert name here)" "And what is your favorite color...?" "Blue. Or green. Or purple. I guess even red, and dark orange...." *writing frantically* "Uh-huh, okay, and your favorite book?" *Lists about twenty books* "Er...........okay....any other interests?" "SPAAAAAAAAAACE!!!" "Oh, I see. What type of space?" "What?"' "Just space?" "Yes." "Oh. Favorite subject?" "Astronomy." "But that's related to space." "Yes, I'm aware.' "Okay. Someone you look up to?" "Elon Musk?" "Who?" "Space person. Also makes electric cars. His latest company is boring." "Uh....I see.....What type of career do you want to have in the future?" "Aerospace engineering." "Isn't that space-related?" "Yes." "So it's pretty much just space? Again?" "Yes, write space." "Okay....Next question, what is your favorite book and movie genre?" "Space." *Stares* *Stares back* Russian Guy: "How about I just put 'space' for all these and save us some time? "Good idea. I'll be off near the food." (there were snacks) The actual interview was longer than this lol. But most of the questions were related to interests, so 'space' filled most of the blanks Edited January 11, 2018 by Earthlinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerodynamically Integrated Retrograde Braking Robustly Armed Kinetic Extending System! Anyways: School, yet again: We had nothing to do. Some (all) played games, some talked to each other... and I think I found a new sorting algorithm? I tested it with 15 "randomly" placed items (numbers from 1 to 15) and it took 12 iterations to sort. I split the entire list into pairs of 2 and swapped the numbers if the larger value was first. Otherwise I kept them as is. Then I offset the grouping by one (so that the first number is no longer part of a pair and, as a result, is ignored) and repeat the comparisons. Here's the entire list from my "random" shuffle to the sorted list. I marked the pairs with brackets []. (In the next row, the comparison is already done, don't get confused) Spoiler [7,2],[3,5],[1,6],[9,10],[8,13],[14,11],[15,12],4 2,[7,3],[5,1],[6,9],[10,8],[13,11],[14,12],[15,4] [2,3],[7,1],[5,6],[9,8],[10,11],[13,12][14,4],15 2,[3,1],[7,5],[6,8],[9,10],[11,12],[13,4],[14,15] [2,1],[3,5],[7,6],[8,9],[10,11],[12,4],[13,14],15 1,[2,3],[5,6],[7,8],[9,10],[11,4],[12,13],[14,15] [1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,9],[10,4],[11,12],[13,14],15 1,[2,3],[5,6],[7,8],[9,4],[10,11],[12,13],[14,15] [1,2],[3,5],[6,7],[8,4],[9,10],[11,12],[13,14],15 1,[2,3],[5,6],[7,4],[8,9],[10,11],[12,13],[14,15] [1,2],[3,5],[6,4],[7,8],[9,10],[11,12],[13,14],15 1,[2,3],[5,4],[6,7],[8,9],[10,11],[12,13],[14,15] [1,2],[3,4],[5,6],[7,8],[9,10],[11,12],[13,14],15 I'd like to try the algorithm with a bigger number of objects (maybe 100 or 1000) and on a computer (takes less time, you know), but I don't know how to code anything, much less a sorting algorithm.

I'll definitely post it in the SpaceX thread when it's done. Right now I'm working on a basic outline of the piece in Sunvox, so that I can get it done more efficiently after launch.

kerbiloid Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I got puzzled by the "rolling eyes" idiom. How can this look at all? Spoiler This is "pitch" Spoiler This is "yaw" Spoiler Even this is "pitch" and "yaw" at once. Spoiler But how could an eye "roll"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a „spin“ is the correct term we‘re looking for. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_(aerodynamics) it‘s a roll combined with yaw caused by one of the wings stalling.

Probably because I play with friends and they have this tendency to spawn ghasts every few minutes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
